It’s official. The Chicago Bears have issued jersey numbers to their entire seven player rookie class.
Roquan Smith, LB - #58
James Daniels, C/G - #68
Anthony Miller, WR - #17
Joel Iyiegbuniwe, LB - #45
Bilal Nichols, DL - #98
Kylie Fitts, OLB - #49
Javon Wims, WR - #83
Some of these might change after the Bears finalize their final 53-man rosters, so I’d hold off on buying that Iyiegbuniwe forty-five just yet.
There have been a few other jersey changes made in case you guys to update your scorecards.
Inside linebacker Johnathan Anderson who was #58, is now #52.
I have a feeling Roquan Smith will do Wilber Marshall’s old number better justice than Anderson did.
Offensive lineman Will Pericak is now #73, leaving #68 for the Iowa rookie.
Numbers for the undrafted free agent rookies have not been issued because those signings have not been made official. Since rookie minicamp isn’t until May 11-13, the Bears still have a little time before making that announcement.
One more number nugget... Anthony Miller, who is sporting Alshon Jeffery’s old number seventeen, has some thoughts...
Alshon had his own legacy. Let me build mine
